Right I've got experience with that particular Zalman cooler, I didn't purchase it from quietpc because it seemed somewhat expensive from there (I'm in the UK) It's used on my Audio/Video PC which sits in my front room... hence the need for something that was quiet. It's cooling a Celeron 900 and is completely silent at its slowest fan speed. It's not the highest performing cooler available, but it is one of the quietest. Now all I need is something to quieten the faint whirring noise from the harddrive... no spare 5 1/4 bay to put a "drive muffler" type enclosure in the tiny case that I'm using unfortunately. -- Dave Russell
